The New York Rangers face off against the Calgary Flames in Calgary tonight. The Rangers are coming off their first win of the season, and are looking to keep the momentum rolling against a team that they haven’t beaten on the road since 2002.
The Breakdown
Offense
The Rangers are ranked twenty-third in the NHL with a goals per game average of just 2.25. That includes what can only be considered an offensive explosion of four goals on Tuesday night. Calgary has done a little better in their first five games with an average of 2.60 goals a game-good enough for fifteenth best in the league.
Defense
There is no news to report on the status of All Star defenseman Marc Staal. Ryan McDonagh has been paired with Daniel Girardi, and has been showing why he was such a highly coveted prospect. Mark Giordano will be one to keep an eye on tonight, as he does a little bit of everything for the Calgary Flames.
Goaltending
It’s most likely Henrik vs Henrik tonight. The Rangers haven’t confir...

… I don’t particularly agree here with Avery. I believe if the Rangers are in need of Avery’s grit, skating and passing he will be called up to replace an injured player or one that has lost his game.
